Unreal 3 Engine - FREE! Er, kinda...
Well, if you weren't planning on selling your game, you can now use the Unreal 3 engine for free. Have at it!
Unreal Development Kit
They have also released a more "indie friendly" commercial license. It's a royalty-based license - 25% (YIPE!) of your revenue after the first $5000. That could eat into an indie's profit margin by a pretty significant amount... or not. Your business decision, folks!

Neat -- at least devs can use it to prototype and become familiar with the engine.
But at the end of the day, what indie is going to want to give away a full 25% of their profit?!
Personally... No thank you.
And tools-wise, devs will still need to shell out some cash for 3DS Max or whatever... I doubt Milkshape is gonna cut it. =P
